World Book Student defines genetic engineering as “techniques that alter the genes (hereditary material) or combination of genes in an organism… Beginning in the 1970’s, scientists developed ways to reintroduce individual genes into cells or into plants, animals, or other organisms” (Rubenstein, 2015). Genetic engineering is a controversial subject not only in science but also in popular culture. Some research, such as stem cell research, has led to serious questions concerning ethics. Other…

1. INTRODUCTION Our mind comprises of 100 billion neurons and a trillion glia [1], which is a conservative structure of tissue measuring approx 3 lakes. The mind houses our mindfulness, our gathered encounters isolated and broke down and interpreted into a code by combined fleeting projections, and put away in a system including the working of cerebrum. Stroke has enhanced our present comprehension of the cerebrum more than some other ailment. There are numerous routes in which neurological…

DNA analysis, also known as DNA profiling, testing, typing, is a process that takes genetic material and evaluates it so that it can identify individuals in a criminal investigation or in use of a forensic application. The beginning step of the performance of DNA analysis on a reference sample or person is the collection of DNA from cells. These cells can come from a blood sample or even swabbing the inside of an individual’s cheek. After it is collected, the samples are then sent to a lab for…

In the 1920s, A British researchers named Frederick Griffith studied bacterial pneumonia to find a vaccine for it. The specific bacteria was Streptococcus pneumoniae. Using streaking on a cultured Petri dish, the batterie was seperated into two strains, or colonies. The R-Strain was rough, and when injector into mice, it did not cause pneumonia, but the S-strain was smooth and slimy, and caused lethal pneumonia when injected. When the S-Strain was killed by heat, it did not cause sickness, but…

Biology plays quite a lot on personality, people can be more likely to develop certain personality traits because they inherited them genetically. That is what biological psychologist’s study’s. There is an entire field of science called epigenetics that is all about how changes in behavior due to experience can affect people on a biological level and cause changes in genetics across generations. It’s far from the only thing that influences personality but it plays the part. Heredity plays a…

The RNA worlds together with the DNA world are known to have numerous differences as well as similarities with the cell nature as well as the varied virus character demands pointing to the viruses coming first. To a degree, the theories that designate this phenomenon have contended on the dissimilar nature of viruses, as a crucial factor that illustrates the viruses coming first (Woese, 1987). In the biosphere of microbes, whereas viruses are regarded as minuscule in size, the Pithovirus is…

It is well known that plants contain an abundant source of medicinal properties. It has been estimated that between 25-50% of current prescription pharmaceutical drugs available are derived either directly or through semi-synthetic modifications of natural occurring substances aka the use of bioactive molecules. 
 Stated in the Cancer Therapy ; Fabricant and Farnsworth (2001), reported that 80% of 122 plant derived drugs were related to their original ethnopharmacological purposes.
Dsicussed in…

In the article What Makes Us Different, Katherine Pollard examines the comparisons of the genomes of chimpanzees and humans. Pollard’s goal was to understand the sequences of DNA bases and letters in the genome as well as the understanding of how the human genome was evolved through years. Pollard had begun on finding DNA sequences that set chimps and humans apart after having some evidence she revealed that human DNA blueprints are 99 percent identical to our closest living relative chimpanzees…

DNA plasmid was added to each of the “+plasmid” and it expresses the ampicillin resistance gene. According to the data, that didn’t happen because the +pGLO LB/amp had 3 white colonies at the end of the bacterial transformation and the +pGLO LB/amp/ara had 2 colonies that glow at the end of bacterial transformation meaning that there was an error in our “+plasmid” which occurred during the lab. We did predict that the -pGLO LB/amp would remain the same with no colonies and -pGLO LB would grow…
